What time do you get up Christmas morning?

I'm awful, I'm always awake by 5 a.m. and getting everyone out of bed then and there.

How about you?

I could stay up all night on Christmas eve if I could get away with it. I usually wake up early on Christmas morning no matter what time I go to bed. The first time that I was up real early I ran in mom and dad's room and stood at the side of their bed and started shaking them asking to go see what Santa left us. I was like..."mommy, daddy I want to see what Santa brought me" my dad mumble and my mom half asleep said: "Go back to bed, Santa hasn't been here yet!"...lol

I didn't know what to think because it was like 5 AM and I thought he came around midnight or as soon as I feel asleep.

LOL dh is the early riser here, usually he gets me up and we go in the livingroom where I go back to sleep on the couch until the kids get up

Kody just asked me today what time could we get up Christmas morning. I said 7:30 or 8:00 would be even better!!

Nope, he thought 5 am would be good.....SO CJ, maybe Kody could give you a quick wake up call!!!

Sometime between 7 and 9. Depends on when the kids wake up, and how long they let us sleep.

Heather, better yet I could give him a wake-up call to make sure all of you are up.

We'll get up whenever dd wakes us up. She isn't an early riser though.

**Jayne** · 12-18-2003, 08:42 AM

Well no little one's here....so we get up around 8:00am...when the girls were little it was probably5 or6 am

...One year dd#1 got so excited she fell down the stairs and knocked the wind out of herself...scared me half to death:surprise:

**seadream** · 12-18-2003, 08:46 AM

No little ones here either so I just get up around my normal time 7 or 8 and then I wait for dh to get up.

**mtjsmom** · 12-18-2003, 09:18 AM

DH and I are always first up getting the coffee going, taking the "girls" out (2 dogs) and prepping for breakfast so we don't miss the stockings being opened. I just set everything out on the dining room table buffet-style. Get the tree lights on, C'mas music playing in the background. Then wake the kids up. They always wait for each other so they arrive at the tree at the same time. (even though they're not little kids anymore). It's getting later and later as they've grown up but I'd say anywhere between 7-9 am.

Ds#1 knows not to get me up before 6. Dd will sleep, I'll probably have to get her up and the baby usually wakes up at 8. I'll tell Blake he can sleep until 8, lol!

My mother hung our stockings on our bedroom doors and would fill them with little toys and stuff we could play with until her and Dad said we could get up.

**paelthom** · 12-18-2003, 11:07 AM

If I am lucky, dd will let me sleep until 7.

**Missy** · 12-18-2003, 01:26 PM

Dh wakes me up at around 7

**AmyBoz** · 12-19-2003, 07:08 PM

The dog will wake me up at 5:30, just like every other day of the week. Dh and dd will sleep until 7 or 8. I don't have the heart to wake them, so I'll probably just check my e-mail or something.
